NEO NEW YORK

DRUG HOUSE

HELL'S KITCHEN

It was a normal night in Neo New York. The sun was down and the moon was up. The stars over the city grew bright. As everyone minded their business at night.

Civilians and even criminals

So it was expected that some low lives would be in some old busted drug house preparing the next batch as they continued to get high and talk over the things low life criminals do

Standing outside the closed door that hides the secrets of the manufactured drugs stood a giant man. Not the giant type that is big and bulky with sharp cutted abs and such no the giant as in they shove whatever they can eat down their throat and weigh over 300 pounds of pure fat

Granted it's a good job. The guy quite Literally gets paid to just stand in front of a door and listen to music or be on his phone

And like usual nights. Nothing happens

He would spend some time watching the dull hallways lights and other's he would just look at the empty hallway

So find it strange when he comes to 'work' one night and a hour through he sees a dark figure with the most devilish crimson eyes he's ever seen

Looking around the area the man raises an eyebrow hoping the the figure would go away but when he notices the devilish figure getting closer he takes off his headphones

"Hey, beat it confidential business going on here"

The figure doesn't even bat an eye as it just continues to emerge closer and closer to him

"I said beat it unless you wanna get cut"

He feels more powerful when he pulls out the silver switchblade from his pocket but as the Dark Figure gets closer to him he watches as the Figure reveals a Sai immediately making him gulp

"How much does the Boss want us shoveling"

"At least a quarter of what we have"

The men groaned as one placed a cigarette in their mouth

"Jesus, does he want us to get caught ?"

"You guys think the rumors are true ? that he's…..dying"

It took a small second for everyone to look at the man before going back to work. Truth was no one wants to speak badly about the Boss dying. Last thing they need is him sending a hit on all of them because they are talking on his name

"Heey were-"

CRASH

Immediately everyone flared to the ground as the sound and weight of the door crashing down grabbed everyone's attention

Turning back looking at the door frame stood a dark figure with devilish crimson eyes

Everyone in the room was scared shitless out their minds especially as they noticed Lennie laying on the ground with blood seeping away

Getting up to their feet the men all started to attack grabbing knives and poles they could find nearby ready to strike the dark figure

Swinging at the shadow the man was immediately met with a block then a few quick punches to the face before the dark figure grabbed his head slamming it into the door handle

Everyone watched in horror as the figure just cracked it's knuckles

In the nearby apartment a small group of men all raised their eyebrows as they heard a racket and commotion all going on outside grabbing their attention as they all shared looks before rolling their eyes and grabbing their guns

"Hey you guys ok-"

Immediately he got his answer as when he opened a door someone flew across his vision

"WHAT THE HELL !"

Looking down at his friend he noticed he was missing an eye making him go wide eyed

Gritting his teeth the men all cocked their guns back before turning down the hallway to see a dark figure surrounded by bleeding bodies as it was finishing it's last punches at a man the blood on it's hand continued to seep with every punch

Aiming his gun the man was ready to shoot but was immediately met with a thrown Sai to the hand making him drop the gun in surprise and shock as he clenched his hand and scream in pain

The two other men were taken back in surprise as when they looked at their friend for a second before looking back at the figure their eyes went wide as they noticed the figure was gone

Not for long as in a matter of seconds the two men were kicked to the ground landing right in the middle of the glass table shattering it as the dark figure emerged from the shadow's of the dull hall lights. The red painted blood surrounded them as he just kept looking at the Sai in his hand

Kneeling down to his level the man got a clean good look at the crimson devilish eyes on the figure and even though he couldn't muster the words he just gagged in pain

"Who….are…..you"

The figure only replied with taking the Sai out his arm causing him to scream more before the SAi was impaled right in his throat before being slid out dropping to the floor

With that the figure walked away leaving the Bloody Hall

"Are you sure this is a good idea ? I mean James you're a good fighter but I feel like you're underestimating us here ?" Azari said

James chuckled as he placed the Blindfold over his eyes

"I need more of a challenge there's only so much the training simulation can give and I need to be able to win a fight under any predicament"

"Yeah well what other kinda superpowers do you need? With your Mom and Dad's Super Serum coursing through your veins you practically have everything you need. Good Genes, Can't get sick, Can't get drunk, not affected by darkness like we are" Francis stated

"Yeah and my Mom and Dad were able to fight with other worldly beings with his hands tied behind his backs. If I wanna be as half of a hero as they were, I need to be able to adapt to any circumstance. So with that being said"

Getting into his fighting possession James smirked

"Bring it on"

Sharing a look at one another Francis and Azari shrugged their shoulders before charging at the Shirtless James Rogers

Immediately Francis threw the first punch and usually James would see it coming already starting his counter but this was different this time he was forced to trust his senses

And his sense told him to block right

Which was wrong

And Francis hit him right across the face

And then Azari sweeped his leg making him fall to the ground with a thud

"Ok…..blindfold his harder than it looks" James groaned in which Azari and Francis just laughed

Azari and Francis helped the red head up to his feet as he took off his blind fold but right when they stepped on the mat ready to fight again Pym rushed into the Gym

"Guys your gonna want to see this"

The 3 boys all shared looks with one another in confusion

Stepping through the window slowly the window was brought down the rise of the sun was starting to peek through so that means the Devil was gonna have to be put away for the night

Walking into the Bathroom there she saw herself. The crimson red eyes that she so heartedly gave into. The demon that she formed out of hate and anger

Taking off the mask and pulling down the scarf revealed the white creamy skin and black lips that she didn't even notice

"By Night i'm the Devil and by Day im Elena"

Stepping out of the Bathroom Elena hung up her dual Sai and as much as she tried to fight it she couldn't help but look at them. The Red Dual Billy clubs that hung up right next to the Sai

Slowly Hesitantly she reached out for them beginning to feel the cool metal they reproduced

All she wanted to do was grab it to use them so ba-

"Your not ready yet Red"

Turning back Elena Immediately jumped

"Uncle Frank. What are you doing out of bed come on lie back down"

Frank Castle just let out a series of coughs before Elena holstered him up bringing him back to bed

"So….you were out….."

Elena smirked

"Wasn't doing anything too bad" she said as she placed him down on the bed

"Stopped a mugging here and there blah blah blah, you'd get bored"

Frank smirked

"And the blood on your fist ?"

Elena avoided eye contact

"The mugger was more aggressive than the other's"

A chuckle escaped his lips but the chuckle soon turned into coughs and Elena only frowned

"Don't worry about me Red, I'm fine. I was in the army remember"

"Of course. I don't want to think the big bad Punisher is some hospitalized old man do I"

Rolling his eyes Elena put the covers over his body and kissed his forehead

"Get some rest. I'll check back on you in a while ok"

Frank only groaned making Elena chuckle before soon enough leaving the room and shutting the door

She turned to look at the Billy Clubs again before sighing and shaking her head before walking away
